SLIDE:
Why is it “Bravo Zulu”/”BZ”? I think it means something like “well done,” but why those letters?

It is from Maritime Tactical Signal Code, used by semaphore, signal flags, morse code flashing light, radio, and other channels of communication.

The combination of the Bravo and Zulu nautical signal flags, Bravo Zulu, referred to as “BZ,” is a naval signal, typically conveyed by the hoist of a flag or voice radio, to convey “Well Executed” with regard to actions, operations or performance since simplified to “Well done”.
